Eminor3rd Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Basically, a Danks start is like 6 rounds of Russian Roulette. Dudes are gonna be on base, the ball is going to get hit hard. How many times in a row can it be hit right at an infielder? Enough to give the bullpen a chance to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the Angels used all of their batted ball luck for this series in the first game. That first inning was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It is painful to watch the Sox lunging at 65 mph curveballs and be way late on 80 mph fastballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 This might be one of those "wait for the second time thru the order" things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Lawrie CRUSHED that. A little higher and it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Jackson has been horrible as well. Moving him up in the order isn't the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Frazier makes that play going towards the line look easy like Ventura did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 In this game: two struggling offenses make two terrible pitchers look adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Both Eaton and Jackson read that wrong off of the bat. Both guys went back before they came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconOnAStick Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Weaver is better than Danks. At least Weaver has some control of his pitches. This is more embarrassing for the Angels than the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 We're way ahead of all of these slow curveballs. Do we not have a scouting report on Weaver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Weaver is just off the corner on everything. The definition of a junkballer. You could probably get no-hit if the ump had a big strike zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) Weaver changes speeds like a boss, always has Yeah, it's a huge reason why he was nearly a Cy Young award winner when he lived in the upper 80s with his fastball. But he doesn't have a whole lot of change in speed now since he's barely throwing 82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
